2m Dipole Ham Radio Antenna | RadioReference.com Forums
Feb 15, 2019 · Good afternoon. I have purchased a QRP-Style Full Wave 2 meter Amateur Ham Radio Dipole Antenna, and there is some question as to whether or not I can use this antenna vertical, and as a temp base station antenna without changing the polarity of the fields. Thanks in advance for your time and attention to this question. 73's Dave KD2QLT
Minimum wire gauge for homebrew dipole? - RadioReference.com …
Nov 4, 2013 · Stranded wire has a much higher surface area than the same gauge solid wire. The more strands in a given size wire, the more surface area. That's why most antenna wire is made up of small size strands. If you are make an antenna for HF frequencies then I wouldn't use anything smaller than number 16 for frequencies over 20 MHz or 14 for under 20 ...
Using a FM Dipole to transmit on 2M? - RadioReference.com Forums

I have a Motorola HT1000(Not the best for Ham radio, i know) and wanted to buy the adapters listed below, hook up the radio using the female sma to female bnc, I have a Male bnc to f pin female adapter, and the f pin male to fm antenna adapter.
dipole vs vertical antenna | RadioReference.com Forums
Apr 17, 2021 · Years ago I installed an 11-meter dipole just out of curiosity and did not like the reception on my base station CB (a Texas radio CB). I opted for the Antron-99 vertical and have used that ever since. I don't believe I have ever heard someone say they were satisfied with a dipole antenna on 11-meters.
Folded Dipole Array Question | RadioReference.com Forums
Sep 10, 2019 · Most stacked dipole arrays used dipoles with fixed distances from the mast, somewhere between 1/8 wavelength and 1/4 wavelength. Doing this makes each individual dipole a two element Yagi and the signal leaves each dipole in a line from the mast through the dipole and away from the mast.
Splitting out AM and FM radio from single antenna?
Jan 17, 2024 · I currently have a ring dipole type FM radio antenna below my TV antenna, which struggles with the more distant stations. I'm putting a 1.8m/6ft ground-independent marine AM/FM antenna at the top of my TV mast. This will increase both the height and the gain for FM radio reception, and add some AM reception which is currently missing.
Dipole feed line length question | RadioReference.com Forums
Jun 24, 2020 · Don't use a broken or poorly designed antenna and you can ignore the article. Using an effective ferrite choke balun at the antenna will also isolate the antenna from the feedline further reducing the need for a specific coax length. A dipole is about 72 ohms in free space.

needed fm/am radio antenna for my metal workshop
Jan 25, 2009 · A 300 ohm balanced output antenna such as the cheapo Rat Shack folded dipole made from TV twin lead goes between the two FM terminals, ground is ignored. If you can receive local stations on another receiver without outdoor antennas you should be able to receive on this one too, just observe the proper connections whether you use simple indoor ...
